Topic: HOW TO SINK AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER?

Eric · July 6th, 2004

As far as Exocet type missiles are concerned, the solution was found after the Falklands with the Phallanx system:

Gatling type 20mm multi-barrelled guns with high rate of fire and guided by low altitude radars able to detect and target fast flying low altitude missiles. A hail of bullet would automatically destroy the incoming missiles before they hit the target.
Only a massive "all front" attack would take a US carrier: air, surface and underwater simultaneous attack by dozens of missiles would be needed to overcome all the cumulated defenses of the carrier and its 3 dimensional long range escorts.

Maybe a MRV nuke or high altitude nuke explosion to generate massive electro magnetic pulse over the whole fleet???
